| description | This study investigates the creation of carbon-negative manufactured aggregates sourced from
magnesium-based carbonate. The primary objectives encompass studying the factors that
govern their mechanical performance and delving into the facets influencing the carbon
sequestration capacity of these aggregates. The findings reveal that aggregates made up of
CemR3 + CS + GGBS, and 5% carbonate, treated under carbonation curing, display a notable
compressive strength of 21.5 MPa while maintaining a carbon-negative status. This research
highlights the promise of these aggregates not just in meeting structural needs but also in
reducing carbon emissions in construction materials. Moreover, this accomplishment marks a
fundamental step forward in the realm of eco-friendly concrete manufacturing. It paves the way
for significant advancements in harmonizing carbon negativity with durable mechanical
attributes. Implementing Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) techniques within
this framework stands as a pivotal method to amplify the carbon sequestration capacity of these
aggregates, thus driving the progress of sustainable construction materials. To unleash the
complete capability of these optimized aggregates, continued exploration is imperative.
Nonetheless, in-depth studies will be instrumental in harnessing these aggregates to their
maximum efficiency, a critical aspect in the progression of carbon-negative aggregate
production. |
